Ashlynn Nicole Diaz is a 14 year-old Honors student excelling at Wiregrass Elementary School in Wesley Chapel, Florida. She will be a Sophomore entering the 10th grade as a Culinary Arts student hoping one day to become a world famous Pastry Chef! She specializes in baking cupcakes and eating sweets, but when she isn’t in the kitchen eating cookie dough, she is studying to maintain her 4.5 GPA as she aspires one day to graduate from Stanford University.
Ashlynn enjoys texting her friends, which she has become quite good at and when she isn’t on social media, she spends the remainder of her time enjoying herself at amusement parks and planning her way out of Escape game rooms, where players are given 60 minutes to escape a room using clues and strategies.
In 2013, Ashlynn became involved with the Children’s Sunshine Foundation, and as an Ambassador representing their organization, they help grant wishes to terminally and chronically ill children making their dreams come true.
Ashlynn is currently the reigning titleholder as Sunshine Foundation Jr. Teen 2017.
Ashlynn was humbled to be crowned by Miss America Mallory Hagan, the 2017 Inaugural America’s Elite Miss Jr. Teen, an organization whose mission is to help girls find a sense of self, service and strength.
Her motto is “there is more to a girl in a gown and a crown.”
